So
this week we had a lot of fun like always. We had a Family Home Evening
with a new family that just moved here into our area. The mom cooked for
us and it was amazing! We did a fun activity with them about looking
for and realizing how many blessings we all have in our lives. It was
great! The mom has had a pretty rough life and she is raising her three
kids alone. So we are trying to help them out.
We
have a bunch of investigators who all live in the same
area/neighborhood and they all know each other. A couple of them seemed
to be progressing super well at first and had lots of interest. But we
have been seeing recently that they have kinda been acting weird
lately. We think it's because one of our investigators, Fausto, always
likes to contend with us and never really agrees with what we say and he
is pretty intense. So we think that maybe he has been saying bad things
about us to them because they are all friends. Or it could be that they
are also all good friends with a couple of pastors and people from
other beliefs who talk bad about us. Idk. So we really have to make sure
we have the spirit strong in the lessons and clear up any false
claims.
My companion and
I talked for a while about goals and how we can be better and had a
really good talk. It's awesome to be on the same page as your companion
and help each other out. We have been together for 6 months which is so
long and never happens haha. But we have a great companionship so it's
way tight. His birthday is on Sunday so we celebrated his birthday today
for p day. We made sushi!! Legit sushi! It came out so well and I was
way impressed with ourselves. We also went to lunch and I told the
workers there to sing him happy birthday. They came out with a cake and
everyone was clapping and singing except for all of us because they had
no idea what was going on. I was the only one who knew so I was like
"yeah!!" Haha and clapping and the other missionaries and Elder Castillo
were all looking for who's birthday it was. Then Elder Castillo realized
it was for him when they came to our table. It was great. Then we had a
young men's night and played basketball. Last week we were a little
disappointed/discouraged because only like one of them came. So we were
going to cancel it after today but there ended up being a great turn out
and like 8 young men came!! Like 4 of them aren't members, and two are
less active. And then some random kid was walking by the church and saw
us playing and came in to watch and right away all the kids invited him
to come play with us!! It was so cool! We invitee him to come back next
week and are going to find out where he lives because he lives in our
area! Super cool!
Anyway this week was great. Have a fun week and watch the "He Is Born" video on LDS.org.
